Breadcrumbs ~ Sketchwork of Ali
Hello everybody!
I've loved this site for years, and I'm finally buckling down and looking to improve myself as an artist. I work as an iPhone game artist doing mostly vector pieces, but I've always been heavily into concept art and paintings. I'm hoping that by making this sketchbook, I'll have something that I can come back to and see how much I can improve in a year, in two years, or even in 10.
Please help me by providing constructive criticism and feedback, and I will do my best to do the same the more I learn from this community. Thanks!
EDIT: Can anyone tell me how and if I can change the title to my sketchbook thread? Thanks!- Similar Threads

May 15th, 2012 #350 Noses
I've been doing some studies, beginning with noses. I had a lot of fun with the curves and the shading around the tip, but found the underside rather challenging. You will see that my worst depictions are when the nose is lifted up and we are looking at the underside. I've been using three circles to begin the nose, and when it is facing that way, it seems that the middle circle is obstructed, or that the shape is changed. I have to find a way to sketch out the basic form and work off it, but my next 50 will be more about overcoming this challenge.
Also, I plan on investing in a new scanner, but until then my pencil drawings will look a little off-colour and wonky as I take pictures with my camera.

October 11th, 2012 #4Things have been insanely crazy with dealing with crunch time at work. It's left me very little time for personal art, but I did get some work done for an iphone/mac game that just got released.

October 11th, 2012 #5Feedback, please!
Okay, after FINALLY having some time for personal work, I've got two here to show you!
This first one was obviously inspired by the classic tale of Beauty and the Beast. I didn't have too much trouble with it, though I did struggle a lot with the folds in the blue dress, and maybe even the background. I wish I had planned out an idea before I started adding details, but by the time I thought of it, I couldn't get anything to look right. Oh well, with every mistake I'll learn for next time!
This second one is a Work in Progress. I'm having a lot of difficulty with the lighting and colors. I want a heavy feeling night snowfall in the woods, so any comments or critique would be GREATLY appreciated. I'll keep working on it in the meantime. I'll also attach a post-illustration mockup of what the lighting is going to look like when I'm done with it.

October 11th, 2012 #6good job with your studies and paintings : D i wish i could help crit but i'm terrible at painting/drawing in general so i may be wrong ;x nonetheless you should check out pic 3 from post #4. it might just be me but it seems kind of stiff && the arm seems kind of.. bent? if you know what i mean o: ? may just be the sleeves though :d

October 18th, 2012 #7I've been wanting to work on my color and lighting skills a little bit more. I'm always really inspired by jellyfish and the way they seem to glow under LED lights, so I went ahead and made one with a tophat and a moustache.
I'm also working a little bit more on the Winter scene. The composition was bothering me, as well as the lighting. I still haven't gotten to a point where I'm happy with it, but I'll keep playing and remind myself to do studies next time.

October 20th, 2012 #8Another update. This is what it's going to look like with the post layer effects (dark lighting around the border, brighter light, snow falling down). It's not rendered beautifully right now, but i'm waiting until the rest of the piece is finished before putting the time in.

October 20th, 2012 #9Wow, the sheer quantity of work here, I'm surprised more people aren't commenting! Your portraits are looking good, especially in the lines of the face. You seem to have trouble with edges, sometimes, like the arms of the girl in the purple dress in post #4. They kind of look cut out from paper and glued to the page... they don't really seem to work in space. But then you clearly do know how to render the appearance of form because the nose and lips of the aviator in the same post are really lifelike. Just keep at it and I'm sure capturing the form will become second nature.
With regards to your last piece, the winter one, yeah I can see why you aren't satisfied with the composition. It seems a little cramped to me. I've done a quick paintover (hope you don't mind!) and tweaked the lighting a little bit.
Basically if we're assuming the light from her lantern is the only light source (and maybe a little fainter ambient light from the moon/sky/overcast clouds), then because she is carrying the light source, she will cast a shadow on the ground and onto the tree. I stretched the picture horizontally to give it some space, maybe also moving the trees so they don't clash in importance with the central subject. Hope that gives you some ideas at least!

October 24th, 2012 #11Started a new something last night. I haven't done a value/tone study since college, and never before done in Photoshop. Reference used, but going to be using my imagination for the clothes/jewelry/story (and elf ears!)
Would anyone care to give some advice about transitioning from grayscale to color? I'm experimenting, but I've never done it before. I'm very cautious about applying opaque paint on top of my tonal study because I got it mostly to the point where I'm happy and I don't want to have to redo it all.

ugggh, the clothes are going to be hard to do. I can't find a good reference!
~ Sketchbook | Digital Portfolio| Facebook | DeviantArt Gallery | Email ~
October 25th, 2012 #13another update.
Put in a little ring there and some hints of clothing. I'm going to work on the clothing details tomorrow (and add some sleeves), plus some more accessories, fiddle more with the hair, and eventually some cleanup work.

October 25th, 2012 #14If you're having problems with overlaying colors, try opening a new layer and setting it to "color" mode.
Then the values won't be affected, only the color and saturation. can be very handy at times.
I like your stuff, but you might consider doing more studies. It always helps, never hurts.
If you ever have any questions, or you want help, all you need to do is shoot me a message.
Can't hurt, right?

October 26th, 2012 #15I love your final renders, You have really nice stuff here, but don´t forget to do studies too, your final renders are not yet profesionals, you need to do a lot of studies and really aim for a better level in order to improve.
What I really want to say is... Your have enjoy study your discipline, so you will improve quickly.
November 1st, 2012 #16So, I've been doing some pencil studies! I haven't scanned them in yet, but they'll be up here soon. For now, I started working on a photo reference study of a cute little bird. It's not done yet, but pretty close. My idea is to keep it slightly blurry just to retain that softness. I'll be adding some details to the leaves and some more color to the branch. I need to do lots of bird wing studies if I'm going to continue drawing angels (which, i do a TON of, but haven't posted any.)

November 2nd, 2012 #17OMG o.O for me this is on a new level from what you did before, you are improving! really nice done my dear. Hope to see those pencil ones soon.
And it´s me or that bird is angry? jaja.
November 2nd, 2012 #18What beautiful paintings. I think it'd help to use hard brushes a little more to draw the eye in, everything seems to blend together a bit because it's so soft, but otherwise, beautiful work here.
November 2nd, 2012 #19Beautiful stuff. Even though it seems that you are a beginner (like me ), you seem to already be settling into a style of your own. It's great!
Perhaps some more traditional studies? Still lifes. Gestures. Long figure poses. Etc.
Keep it up!
-I often post from my phone; so please excuse the typosSketchbook
November 3rd, 2012 #20Thank you so much you guys!!
I'm currently without a scanner, so I had to take these with my phone and compile them with Photoshop. Sooo, here's some traditional studies. It's been AGES since I've done any, and I know that the anatomy sucks with them. I forgot how difficult it is to draw super super fast and be able to capture the gesture and pose of the model. I noticed that I scribble a lot when I don't feel comfortable with what I'm drawing, mostly because I am trying to find the form and I know that if i scribble, I will eventually find it and draw a darker line on top of it. What I really want to do is to be able to find it right off and use as minimal lines as possible with confidence. You can see that I tried to do it with some of my gestures, but got really frustrated (I wrote notes!), but it's something I'll keep doing to improve my eye and hand.
Here we go!

November 3rd, 2012 #21Those are some good studies. Keep up the good work.
November 4th, 2012 #22Some more studies!
I'm looking to do some more things from my imagination this weekend (tomorrow), so look forward to some of those! Today I warmed up with some gesture studies and then got sidetracked with drawing the head from different angles. I found a PDF file of Loomis "Fun with a Pencil" and pawed through it. His plan to teach others how to draw is amazing! I was pleasantly surprised. I love how he takes you through the process of finding forms in a cartoon face, and then later how to make it more complex for realistic figures. I would say that facial features is one of my stronger points of interest, but that capturing an accurate angle is not. I hope to do some more practices from my head based on what I studied, as well as more detailed figure drawings.
It's embarrassing, but you can see where I struggled a little bit with the Loomis style of constructing a cartoon face. It's so foreign to me, but I tried it anyway and laughed at the result! I'll have to do some more with features that I'm comfortable with to see if i can create some interesting expressions and forms.

November 4th, 2012 #23Don´t worry you are doing great, i like to see how you are showing us things at you are not so strong, that means you really want to imrove! Thats so good, I hope to see more of your posts soon.
And yeah loomis is amazing, I love to learn from him too, he is also so inspiring
November 5th, 2012 #24Thankyou so much Noomwolf! I'm really happy to see that you check back now and then, it makes me inspired!
For Sunday's study dump, I did some more Loomis samples with construction of the figure. I did some of my own from stock photos, and then tore myself away from the computer and sat in a different room to draw from my head. I have to say that after doing so many studies, it's hard for my imagination to take its toll. Every time I try and draw something from my head, I get frustrated because I can't get the anatomy quite right, or the pose seems off somehow. Drawing from life and photos seems to be becoming my crutch and that worries me... but at least if I do enough studies, I'll be able to update the library in my head and remember how to draw them correctly for when I DO get around to making some characters up on my own.
Also, sorry for my lack of a scanner I hope to get one for Christmas!

November 5th, 2012 #25A WIP of a new piece. Yay, imagination is coming back! I'm using my new knowledge of posing, value, composition and lighting for this one. I have a few photo references, but going to try and avoid from painting exactly what I see. I'm wanting to test my ability to paint objects with my own knowledge based on reality.
Also, I guess I forgot to post the finished pieces of my other studies. So, here's the bird and the girl. I wanted the girl to be so much more than what she turned out to be. I had this plan to do really beautiful and rich looking clothes, but my lack of fabric understanding really prevented me from a realistic approach. I did paint the ring, which was my first time really doing anything metal. I was proud
~ Sketchbook | Digital Portfolio| Facebook | DeviantArt Gallery | Email ~
November 6th, 2012 #26A new WIP. I thought that with the long skirt, the placement of the knees looked weird from my original composition. Plus, standing him up gave him a sense of power and grace that I really thought fit his character. I kind of like that he seems to be a bit off-balance, especially because I think it's believable with the addition of his wings.
Just to give a little bit of backstory:
The winged man is Nyrium, an aerial based elf (not an angel!). Below him is his daughter, Eikoae, who is a half-elf who lost her human mother and has only him left. He cares for her only in that she is his blood relation, and not as a person, so he often manipulates her desire to be close. In this image, I want the theme to be "Searching" or "Search", because he is constantly searching for ways to gain power and use others to his advantage, while in the meantime, his little sheep of a daughter follows him because she is forever searching for a love that will never be returned. He is unaware of her presence, and she looks up at him with longing.

November 6th, 2012 #27That's a sad story. Do keep us posted on its progress.
November 7th, 2012 #28Some grayscale work:
I changed quite a few things from the sketch. I made the pose a little bit different, edited the head, the cloth, added some texture to the rock, tried to focus on some anatomy, etc. I'm using this piece as a test to see what else I need to really focus on. So far, I would like to do more posing so that it comes a little more naturally to me, anatomy of course, and fabrics.

November 7th, 2012 #30Thankyou, wutangclam! (amazing name, by the way). It feels good when others like what I do
Another quick update... not much has changed. I thought my previous post would be the last one for tonight, but I couldn't sleep and had to work on it a little bit more. I started to add in some textures and a little more detail to the figures. I think I need to do something about the man's right hand. The silhouette makes it look very stumpy and doesn't read very elegant. bummer.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES IN NORTH PORTLAND, where development is surging. IMAGE: TOM OLIVER |
With their chipper descriptions of Irving Park, the Mississippi hipster strip and the Fremont Bridge, the pods of mystery look at first like a bit of city-funded boosterism.
But in fact, they're private advertising: a cleverly muted stealth promotion for two major mixed-use developments coming soon to this heavily trafficked but desolate corner of North Portland.
"I've seen people stop and walk around them like the scene from 2001," says Ben Kaiser, the developer responsible for the half-dozen green "monoliths." "I like the sense of mystery. The idea was to give people a reason to stop, get out of their car and engage with the site. This intersection is a hub for so many things, but people tend to just put their heads down and...blast through here."
With three major streets, an Interstate offramp, bike lanes and stops for some of the city's busiest bus routes, this should indeed be a hopping corner. Instead, its current emptiness testifies to decades of disinvestment in the once-thriving Williams.
Kaiser's monoliths—without saying so—herald huge changes at the intersection, part of a wave of development surging up Williams and its sister street, Vancouver Avenue. The developer plans a 41-unit live/work complex with 8,000 square feet of commercial space and 39 loft-style condos on the kitty-corner lots. With an 11-month construction schedule set to begin in August, the weeds and bark mulch now occupying this prime land will soon be history.
For now, though, the place is more art than commerce.
Designed by Keith Warner of the local firm Big Giant, which also created packaging for Nike's iconic Livestrong bracelet, among other projects, the monoliths are simple plywood boxes skinned with adhesive vinyl. Warner says his bold, easy-to-read graphics highlight things about the neighborhood that commuters probably miss as they race off I-5 or lumber along in the No. 4 bus.
"We liked the fact that Ben wanted to call attention to the whole area, and not just this particular property," Warner says. "It's intended to be sort of a wayfinder, to identify some specific locations or specific facets of this location that may have been lost."
To Kaiser, the temporary installation speaks to the broader aims of the buildings he'll build. The live/work building will be the first to take advantage of new definitions in the city building code aimed to encourage the notoriously tough-to-build format.
"For years, I've wondered about this corner," he says. "You're right at the center of Mississippi, Alberta, Killingsworth, Fremont, Broadway—all these major streets. And yet here, it's just blight. There's no sense of place. But it's in a place, and I think the mixed nature of this project will be reflective of this area. This isn't the Pearl, and it's sure as hell not South Waterfront."
As real estate advertising, the Williams monoliths may be uniquely low-key. As signage, though, they seem to have attracted just the kind of puzzled, intrigued interest Kaiser hoped to drum up.
"They're asking if the city is responsible," Kaiser says. "We had one tagger, but it was almost a respectful tag—small, like he didn't want to interfere with the graphics."

Mr. Maudlin handled a personal injury case that happened while I was working. I had another attorney for eight months that did nothing on my behalf. I hired Mr Maudlin and never had a regret. He explained everything to me and he or his office would call and advise me of the progress as the case progressed. I highly recommend Nathan Maudlin.

Jim Irsay: Chuck Pagano has leukemia, "He can beat this thing" | ProFootballTalk Chuck Pagano, first year head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, has been diagnosed with a treatable form of leukemia. He has been in an Indianapolis hospital ICU since last Wednesday undergoing treatment. Terrible news for Colts fans - along with Luck he has really energized the fan base with his relentless optimism, enthusiasm and grit. Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians will take over head coaching duties, likely for the remainder of the season. Prayers to Pagano and his family and hopes for a full recovery. Edit - Conflicting sources as to how long Pagano will be absent from the team. I've read anywhere between a few games to all season.

Prayers to Pagano, his family, and the entire Colts organization. I can't stand Irsay because of how much of a drama queen he is, but I think Pagano can really turn that organization around.

LOVE AND DEATH ABAB Love is a thing which perches in soul and never dies for those who parts forever and dies reluctantly for all those who deal it with dull verve hence finally retards. Its intensity can never be matched by any way, any sense or any being the loveliness of soul which initially hatches in eyes and finally lead to an undying thing. The iniciated feeling kisses the eye and lead the body to shiver and form an never ending joy joy which increases with senses and feed the soul with luxury of peerless eyes and soothing joy. When eyes fall on thine god, a material being a wave travel from eyes to soul and leave us shocked and lead us to drowse in feeling of the cosmic one more beauteous, pretty then all. A word from her soft coloured lips is treat for your soul and finally try to speak to that elf, an everlasting meet in your brain did relive forever and make thee week. But when you have conversed enough and all secrets did revealed, the enthusiasm, the joy, the love starts to retard and mighty love starts to fall and fall all thy passions, thy deity thine happy dove. Your drowsing in happy feeling, thine everlasting thing decrease by degrees, you being unknown the thing which use to shiver thine ere being your love dwindles while thine body had grown. But after ages when ye become pallid and calm its assistance ye need or when you lay in despair in this material world, it seems the only balm which provide thee love and care. A never ending charm an ethereal soul which lift the mortal man from dying and and taking birth and make life and death traveling journey for all except those in whose nature there is love's dearth. AKASH SANGWAN
Breathe i breathless. Sleeping in a nightmare of unseen loveliness. Restless in my mind and body. Through a tunnel of devastating reckoning. Crying sound of a wounded ostrich. The echo of a oceanwaves demolishing sea afterlife. My feminist touches cursed. His enduring love of a dying poetical. He dies in his lust of pleasure.
Once in my life, breast cancer, I did not know. Which was lost, and what would be gained. I could not see, beyond her glow Faith and strength carried and remained. Unfinished things of her dreams come slow These were not to be lost, our love holds true Loss of her alluring game would not matter, I did say In life and love, she is stuck to me with glue She is more than any loss, which may take away. Pink in October shapes her autumn sky. More beautiful now she faces its lie. Sunshine wakes her in a moonlights lure. Fighting like a girl, she wins the war. Dancing as a woman she captures pink ardor. She is more than a woman, my lady, my love. Pink, pink, pink color beyond her despair, Trials and tribulations, rising glow, She has won her fight; in the pink, breast cancers beware.
What they've done to Gary is just plain scary. Global elites shut him up.Of their wicked ways, be wary. It is all in all,everything that they do,to try and scare me, to try and scare you. If they get their way,we'll all be shakin' in our shoes. If they can make us fear enough,they think they'll never lose. For fear is their currency of delight,presses working over-time, ever in the night. Where their dark secrets lurk,hiding from the light. With it they purchase hearts and minds, ultimately souls as their grand prize, To offer up to lucifer, in a scheme of grand demise. So take heart my friend and fear naught,but the Lord. This is wisdom's beginning, God's word, shield and sword. Of this one thing be ever so aware, that those who hold God's spirit, they can not scare or make them slaves to the prince of the power of the air. We, who stand with Gary, will remain strong and bold. Always doing what is right, not necessarily what we are told. It is our one path to victory and bringing freedom home. Home, where our love dwells. Home. Dear, sweet home.
To see or not to see, past the illusion. Of truth secretly whispered back and forth, creating confusion. Shakespeare publicly fought between life and death for pure amusement. Within my thoughts, hope's not lost but found, don't fight with fear use it. Time is endlessly precious when our soul starts to lose grip. Loose lips, wondering eyes, curious minds in search of the light. Collide in a beautiful place where I am nothing connected to everything real matter cannot be erased.
hush my baby listen very close,to everything you've ever heard. so you can remember, every sound and word. being strong against your deepest fear, that one day you may not hear. though thiers no real gaurentee, thats sounds will take priority you'll remember each sound and hear by what your eyes are able to see. i know it won't be the same, as when you could hear, but you have to be strong against your deepest fear. so hush my little one, listen close to all you've ever heard. so you'll remember every sound and word. just remember we will always be here, when you need a hug, to make the anger disapear. caused by the stillness , that haunts your ears.
" Hail to courageous Patrick! " The Christian Irish loudly sang, taking their chant to all Ireland... and that made Milchu very sick! In his veins ran pure blood of Roman nobility; at that brutal era, Druidism was Ireland's religion, and he, the follower of Christ, felt much contention... but armed with determination Patrick fought it fiercely! " Hail to courageous Patrick!" As a saint he never accepted defeat; he was bread and water for the weak... endless fear for the High Priest! " Pagans, you shall not worship neither the Sun nor idols, Christ is your true Lord! " He preached in all villages ignoring any frown from that warrior waving his sword! Would he had never been captured and sold into slavery, all Ireland wouldn't have known liberty; his task was to tend sheep as David, but choose to give his entire soul to God to wipe out idolatry! " Hail to courageous Patrick! " Every man, woman and child shouted without being afraid; they knew that God had sent this holy and kind man to them to teach prayers of fervent faith!
A traveler has traveled far and wide, Lost in the plains of yellow flowers and Poppies He saw the tree that stood An Oak tree it was, with stream of water from underneath. A reflection of his image he saw, A fallacy he denied. Like a fool he talk to trees and skies The west wind blew and his heart felt Heard his name sorrow, thus the wind Whispers "A man is weight by the sorrow in his heart" Thirsty, he drank from the stream. Bitter it was, but the stream was as clear as the sea An epiphany he had, the taste of bitterness, Was from his heart, the taste of sorrow. Green grass withered and the sun died, Illuminated by the night skies; He mocks the heavens And he curses the ground. The heaven cried out, "Man is imprisoned in the passage of time" The stars died too The stream dried out and came a man "I am thy sorrow, thy need, thy fallacy". "I live in denial, for I know not the man I see, I know not of my weight, my sorrows" "The yolk of life that I carry has undone me" "Emptiness in a man's heart is the presences of grief Atlas! How well did my heart grief" said he "How well did my heart swallowe'd" Darkness came over the plain, the beauty was shunt from man. A voice he heard,"nature of man is beautiful and deceitful" Dawn came, blissful, as the early birds began to sing the dew drops that fell on the grass, illuminated the plains his heart was filled with tears of truth.
Today I whispered my fears to you -- Wrapped my arms around your hard body Scales tickling the underside of my arms You've been keeping my secrets since I was ten You were barely as big as I now behemoth You can almost touch the sky Reach right up and greet the sun for me I bury treasures at your feet -- Dig down deep into the earth Careful not to tap a single root You've been the protector of my bounty for your entire life What knowledge you bear, all for a little girl In gratitude, as proof of Your love You present to me One perfect white blossom
Stuck in this cave inside my head. Used to be dark and ominous, now it's a safe place instead. Your voice is just a whisper now, as the blackness washes over me like a shower. Nails dig into my flesh as I hold myself close to me. Too much pain, have to keep it hidden so no one else can see. The torture, the tears, all the times my soul was ground into the earth, since the very day of my birth. I try to smile on the outside, It's not so easy. I try to believe that love and life is pleasing. But the fear of repeating life's mistakes is too heart wrenching. There is a light at the end of my tunnel. Beckoning me to come outside of myself. I inch my way, trust is not so easy. Closer now , I feel the warmth cover me. Could this be a dream, or is my soul finally free
Ode to fear that gives me control, allows me power to feel whole. It gives me strength when i am down, ode to fear when i am down. Ode to strength the power to fight, and show them how i am polite. With strength i am and fear i control, ode to people i can control. Ode to control the demons flight. when they betray me and i lose the fight. My power was great but not to there's, they were many and i was scared. Ode to morals that show you truth, that shows the right when there's none to boot. The moral is and always was, when you ode to fear destruction comes.

Neighborhood: Rechte Altstadt (old town, right side)
Upon entering the Steingasse, you'll find an unassuming little place to your left. The first thing to catch your eye is a big porcelain beast of prey sitting in the window, whilst music drifts out onto the street from the open door. This tiny location is a wonderful mixture of bar, restaurant, gallery, music-café and café and was the first in Salzburg which succeeded in offering a kind of easy-going lifestyle. Jazz music, delicious wines, and art on the walls all add to the atmosphere in this restaurant. Perhaps not for big dinners and lunches, it is great for enjoying small dishes such as seafood, salads, and soups and enjoying life by reading one of the art journals.

City begs for govt attention
Jammu, April 17 Beggars, mostly children, can be seen outside temples and mosques, seeking money from visitors every Monday, Friday or Saturday. Their other hunting grounds include bus stand, railway station, taxi stand, Jewel Chowk and Kachi Chawani, which remain abuzz with
tourists and pilgrims. While begging is banned in the state, the administration has turned a blind eye to the menace as it has failed to take effective steps against the begging mafia that is active in the city. Most children involved are from other states and are being forced into the profession. Most beggars hail from other parts of the country and are brought here under a coordinated plan not only to fleece people but also commit petty crimes. The government, however, seems to be sleeping over the issue. Even if the authorities take these children off the street, it doesnt have juvenile homes to rehabilitate them. As a result, they are back on the streets, seeking alms, says an official. They have become a nuisance for people, particularly tourists, as they
pursue them in marketplaces. Their handlers keep a close watch on their activities. Suman Kapil, who runs an NGO, says begging has grown into a trade in the past few years. A syndicate behind the menace ensures that the effluent class, mostly tourists and foreigners, is targeted. There is a need to counsel the beggars and motivate them to shun the practice. Young girls and children need to be rehabilitated and given an opportunity to grow up into meaningful citizens. Deputy Commissioner Sanjeev Verma says the administration has taken measures to deal with the menace. They are seeking the help of the police to curb the practice, but a lot needs to be done, he adds. |
Revenue official, 4 others indicted in land grab case
Jammu, April 17 The accused were identified as Narinder Singh, Pritam Singh, Promod Singh, Ashok Singh, all residents of Birpur, and Jamal Din, former Girdawar, Halqa Birpur, and a resident of Bari Brahmana. The official spokesperson said Bishan Singh Jamwal, a resident of Lower Shiv Nagar, near AGs office, Jammu, had lodged a complaint on April 24, 2007, stating that he besides other co-sharers owned around 300 kanals of land at Pratapkote in Birpur village. Around 94 kanals of state land existed in the periphery of the private land. He alleged that Narinder Singh of Birpur in connivance with the Patwari and other revenue officials started the clandestine sale of the government land and constructed shed and fencing on the land before engaging labour for the reclamation of the land. The complainant alleged that Narinder Singh, a co-sharer of the private land, manipulated the fard in connivance with the Patwari and showed the state land in his possession. During the course of the investigation, the crime branch officials found that illegal entries pertaining to the state land were made by the then Girdawar, Jamal Din, in the name of the accused persons. The officials observed that the Girdawar had exceeded his jurisdiction and facilitated encroachment on the state land by abusing his official position, thereby causing loss to the state exchequer. They produced the challan in the court for judicial determination. |
Journey from shadow of violence to musical stardom
Sonika Raina Tribune News Service
Jammu, April 17 Not just Batmaloo, but the youth from across the state have found a platform to channel their energy in a positive direction through the talent show organised by the Jammu and Kashmir Police. Over 2,000 participants across the state participated in the talent hunt and 54 of them reached the grand finale. These participants belong to the far-flung areas of the state where peace was once a dream for the people. But the things have changed for the better now. Labourers daughter Lafeesa (15) of Shopian, who added colour to the show by singing a ghazal, said: I study in a village school. I had never been to Jammu before, but it seems I can now perform anywhere in the country. It is beautiful outside the Valley also. The competition started at the district level where the police coordinated with the people and encouraged the youth to the showcase their talent. Astha (12) from Poonch, who gave a kathak performance during the grand finale, said: I never got a formal training in dancing. I learnt it by watching the television and following different stars in movies. I had never imagined that I would perform in front of such a huge audience. Samba SSP Israr Khan, who coordinated the competition, said: We have received a positive response not only in the Jammu region but in the Valley as well. We were initially reluctant to start the auditions in Kashmir, owing to the perception about the police there. But we got a great response in the Valley. After participating in this programme, most people saw the friendlier side of the police. Two winners of the season one got a chance in Indian Idol. Another participant will take part in Bharat Ki Shan. We encourage the participants to go for further training. This is an initiative to improve the relations between the police and the common man. Minister of State for Home Nasir Aslam Wani was the chief guest, while DGP Kuldeep Khoda was the guest of honour. Khodas wife Indu Koul, actor Sanjay Suri and others were also present. |
Govt staff to strike work
Jammu, April 17 The committee, which represents around 4.50 lakh government employees in the state, has also announced to ghereo the Civil Secretariat on May 9 in Srinagar to lodge their protest. The employees held a rally in the city today to protest the delay on part of the government in implementing the agreement signed with the employees on September 15. The rally started from the Press Club and passed through various areas of the city before culminating at the starting point. The employees are demanding enhancement of retirement age from 58 years to 60 years, regularisation of ad hoc and contract employees in different departments and timely release of the 6th Pay Commission arrears. The committee alleged that the administration was ignoring the full implementation of the agreement, which was signed to end the deadlock over the 6th Pay Commission report and other demands. Ram Kumar, senior committee member, said: We will go on a two-day strike in May to send a message to the government that they cannot fool us every time. As per the agreement, the coalition government had started the process for regularisation of the employees. He said the members had sought the timely implementation of the agreement in latter and spirit so that they did not have to adopt the path of agitation. They also urged the finance department to allocate additional funds to the departments concerned so that the first installment of arrears of the 6th Pay Commission are credited into the GPF accounts of the employees for the current year, he said. The removal of pay anomalies of the clerical cadre is an important issue that needs an immediate solution, as it has not been revised for the past several years, said Abdul Qayoom Wani, another senior member. The speakers demanded risk allowance for employees working in the forest and other departments falling in the purview of high-risk jobs. They also expressed their dismay over the treatment extended to daily wagers of the Power Development Department who had been agitating to secure regularisation of jobs. |

Jammu, April 17 Led by BJP state president Shamsher Singh Manhas, party activists distributed sweets and raised slogans in favour of the party.

Characterization of electrical contacts for phase change memory cells
Roy, Deepu (2011) Characterization of electrical contacts for phase change memory cells. thesis.
Abstract: | Advancements in integrated circuits demand an increasing requirement for
a faster, low-cost non-volatile memory with improved scaling potential. Phase change memory is an important emerging memory technology qualifying these requirements. With dimensional scaling, the contacts are scaled by F2, therefore knowledge of the contact properties becomes even more important. This thesis deals with the characterization of electrical contacts for phase change memory cells. An electrical contact in this respect refers to the interfaces formed in the memory cell, i.e. the metal electrode to phase change material (PCM) contacts in the crystalline and in the amorphous state. |

SolarReviews | West Virginia Solar Power Rebates and Incentives
Solar Power Rebates, Tax Credits and Solar Panel Incentives in West Virginia; 2012 Update
We have recently had a look at what is available for those looking to install solar power in West Virginia.
State Tax Credit
Program Overview:
State: | West Virginia |
Incentive Type: | Personal Tax Credit |
Eligible Renewable/Other Technologies: | Solar Water Heat, Solar Space Heat, Photovoltaics |
Applicable Sectors: | Residential |
Amount: | 30% |
Maximum Incentive: | $2,000 |
Equipment Requirements: | Solar energy system used to provide hot water must derive at least 50% of its energy from the sun |
Carryover Provisions: | Excess credit may be carried forward to each of the next taxable years until exhausted (up to four years) |
Start Date: | 07/01/2009 |
Expiration Date: | 07/31/2013 |
Authority 1: Date Enacted: Date Effective: | W. Va. Code 11-13Z 06/05/2009 07/01/2009 |
Authority 2: Date Enacted: | Tax Administrative Rule 110-21D (Agency Approved Rule) 11/2009 |
Summary: West Virginia passed legislation in June 2009 authorizing its solar energy tax credit for residential installations. The tax credit, which is 30% of the cost to purchase and install the system, is capped at $2,000 and expires on 07/31/2013. If the credit exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the unused portion of the credit may be carried forward to "each of the next taxable years" until it is used (but may not be carried forward past July 1, 2014). Taxpayers must complete Schedule SETC and file it along with their personal state tax returns.
Federal Tax Credit
As with all other states there is a Federal tax credit available for 30% of the cost of installing solar electricity panels.
Net Metering
Net metering in West Virginia is available to all retail electricity customers. System capacity limits vary depending on the customer type and electric utility type, according to the following table.
Customer Type |
IOUs with 30,000 customers or more |
IOUs with fewer than 30,000 customers, municipal utilities, electric cooperatives |
Residential |
25 kW |
25 kW |
Commercial |
500 kW |
50 kW |
Industrial |
50 kW |
Net excess generation (NEG) may be carried over to a customer-generator's next bill as a kilowatt-hour (kWh) credit at retail rate and may be rolled over, indefinitely. The credits may only be applied to the energy portion of the bill (not fixed costs or demand charges, for example). Customers may aggregate meters (either physically or virtually) and apply net metering credits earned on one meter to additional meters, as long as they are located within two miles of the point of generation. The associated costs of meter aggregation are the responsibility of the customer. The net metering policy in West Virginia is quite good because it gives a genuine one for one credit. This means the value you get for solar power that you feed back into the grid will increase over time as the prices of power goes up. The law requires that net-metering tariffs must be identical in rate structure, retail-rate components, and monthly charges, to the tariff for which the customer would qualify if that customer were not a customer-generator. The issue of who owns the alternative energy credits (also known as renewable energy credits, or RECs) remains unresolved at the time of printing this page (2012). Each customer with a net-metered system up to 50 kW must carry a minimum of $100,000 in liability insurance. Customers with systems greater than 50 kW and up to 500 kW are required to carry a minimum of $500,000, and customers with systems greater than 500 kW must carry a minimum of $1 million in liability insurance.
Renewable Energy Portfolio standard. West Virginia requires utilities to generate from renewable sources or alternative energy a certain percentage of the electricity that they sell. In July 2009, West Virginia enacted House Bill 103, the "Alternative and Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard."[i]This law requires investor-owned utilities with more than 30,000 residential customers to supply 25 percent of retail electricity sales from alternative and renewable energy by 2025. The breakdown of the target is: The standard sets the following minimum benchmarks for electric utilities based on their annual electricity sales:
- 10% from 2015 to 2019
- 15% from 2020 to 2024
- 25% by January 1, 2025
The problem, from a solar power perspective is that technically all the power requirements could be met by other types of generation but still it is a start. Renewable energy does attract 2 credits for every megawatt hour which does give it an advantage over other non-renewable power sources. Watch this space for more news on the development of a trading system for these credits and whether or not they will be owned by the customer or the utility in a net metering situation. With average electricity prices hovering around 11 cents look at the great return you can get from installing a solar electricity panels:
Size of System (kw) |
5 |
Space required (square feet) |
650 |
Price of system per watt |

Price of power (marginal cost high usage kwh's) $ per kwh |

Actual out of pocket cost after incentives claimed through tax system. |
$10,250.00 |
Annual Power production |

Total Annual Energy savings based on net metering at 1:1 |

Annual Return on Investment |
9% |
Return rises to around 14% annual return after 8 years if you assume just a 7% annual increase in power prices | ||
Payback Time assuming 7% annual increase in power prices | 8 years |
The beauty of a solar power system as an investment is that the annual return you get from having one increases each year as electricity gets dearer. With these economics West Virginia residents should be beating a path to their local solar installer before the state tax credit ends.

Sale at 225 East 73rd Street #3BC
Closed in end of 2009 @ $2.4M and maintenance at the time $600 cheaper. Maybe a little redecorating but no major renovations done since then (all had been done already). So please explain the $1.3M increase in price today? I understand they got a steal at $2.4M when the "World was about to end" but still this is absurd and pretty much all that is wrong with the inefficient real estate market.
There's always http://streeteasy.com/nyc/sale/761423-coop-300-east-74th-street-upper-east-side-new-york a half-block away, asking $100,000 less and with maintenance $1000 lower, but that doesn't have any fireplaces.
Do you think the apt will actually trade at that price? 3rd floor, light-challenged, $1500 ppsf. This is 3BC, 7B & 7C recently sold for $2.46M between the two of them. And I don't see how one can pass up NWT's place at this same price. Lower maintenance, 19th floor, views, etc.
If you want to talk inefficiency, this is mice nuts. For this kind of money directed at rent, you can find high-floor, highly-renovated places on Central Park with 80 feet of direct park views:
That place is gorgeous, while the two buy examples are just ho-hum combos.
It's shy a bedroom and bath, but can easily accommodate three or four kids. If a kid can't show a W2 (in West81st's immortal words) it can share and like it.
225 East is between 2nd and 3rd, but 300 East is past 2nd, 2nd avenue subway construction is a pain. Some people prefer prewar buildings, 300 East is post war and the apartment needs work and new kitchen appliances. I'm not saying 225 East 74th is a bargain, but an apartment that has already been "tastefully" decorated or staged will have a bigger appeal to buyers than a bland apartment that needs some work.
3.2mm is my guess. 2500 sq ft, fully finished apt. South exposure probably blocked by trees.
Many people would not consider the postwar. Not sure what the celing height in 225e is. Assume higher than 300 east. Also, 300 east is probably 10 percent smaller but views should more than make up for that.
So 300, the renovations and most decorating had been done prior to the previous sale of $2.4M so the $800k gain/difference is all bc of "timing"? Sure things were pretty bleak then but tough to say we are that much better off today.
Nycrejunkie, Only a real sale will tell the price of this one but there is nothing wrong with price up 30 percent from the bottom. I posted several examples in my other posts.
Truth, no denying between Lex and Third is a beautiful block but this apt is between 2nd and 3rd. With that said even btw 2nd/3rd is a beautiful block with the trees lit up etc and there is no denying that the apt in question is a beautiful apt. The issue I have is it was purchased (basically exactly as it is today) in 2009 for $2.4M and now 3 years later they are reoffering it for up 50% ($1.3M gain). I understand 2009 was a rough year with a ton of uncertainty and they definitely got a good deal by sticking their necks out to buy it but 50% gain over the following years is ridiculous. And contrary to 300's comment about nothing wrong with trying I disagree. I think it is mismanaged by seller broker and seller. Not an efficient (in price, speed, time) market if lofty expectations are set full of emotion.
Actual sale price will tell the truth. In the meantime, wannabe buyers will naturally call it overpriced - nothing wrong with that.
I can't afford even the 2009/$2.4M price so not even close. Just making an observation that I feel seems quite obvious. You also seem to defend it quite strongly so are you the owner or useless broker that advised the price?
Neither. I am not even saying that it will sell for the asking price. I am just giving an estimate 10 percent below ask. Fell free to estimate your closing price expectation.
$3,695,000 / 2,400 sq ft = $1,539.58/sq ft. That seems reasonable? 2007 mkt top prices for new construction.
$3,325,500 / 2,400 sq ft = $1,385.625/sq ft. Is your "down 10% from ask" price.
They paid $1k/sq ft in 2009.
I could easily argue it should be $1k/sq ft for low floor, high(er) maintenance, no W/D in family sized apt. East of 3rd ave. But i'll take into account 2009 was a trying time. So $1,150/sq ft = $2,760,000.
I'm so far off according to you i'll even throw in another $50k-$100k b/c the size of apt is its best characteristic. Should trade at/below $2.9M and that's being generous. Down 20% from ask.
I will watching the closing price with interest (make take some time due to the high per sq ft price). Sq footage is bit more than 2400. If you measure like most new condos do, you will probably get 2600-2700 sq ft (include all exterior walls, part of the hallways etc).
If you believe the listings, 7B listed at 1600 sq ft and 7C listed at 800 sq ft, so 2400 sq ft total. Including exterior walls, right around 75x32 which would put it at 2400 sq ft.
In contract within a month of listing!!
Sold for 3.5mm!!
I agree that the pricing is steep. I think it just goes to show that 3 bedroom properties presented in mint, move-in ready condition, will sell at very high prices in the current market. However, everything on the market in move in ready condition moved very rapidly, despite flaws (like dark, low floor in this case). I'm not suggesting that it's sensible but it seemed like there were definitely people who were easily willing to pay $250 psft over market to find a place they could move their kids into before the school year. I think this is a case in point. If it needed a new kitchen or bathrooms, I would have guessed it would have traded closer to $3mn.
I think this is the same for the new development pre-war redevelopments or pre-war style new builds. Here's a comparable in the Philip House. Pretty comparable but smaller, too far north vs. too far east, and more expensive. $3.995. Close to $2,000psft.
200 East 79th Street. Smaller and higher monthlies. Master bedroom overlooking a very busy street with bus traffic etc... Entered contract last year. I'd imagine it would be close to $3.5mn if marketed today.
Oxy: I'm not sure that I agree with some of your comparisons. I don't think that 73rd street was in mint condition. There are some odd features and bad finishes, but ultimately people are buying the space.
Inventory is so tight that I think the buyers just wanted an apartment with 3 bedrooms, which is hard to find. Have you seen anything else really comparable? 9A at 955 Lex for $3.5mm is a similar combination, but it's a better building that is further west and is unrenovated. (http://streeteasy.com/nyc/sale/999988-coop-955-lexington-avenue-lenox-hill-new-york) The two apartments that you mentioned don't seem like good comparisons because they're essentially new build.
So I don't agree that this apartment is $250psft "above market". I think that tight supply pushed the prices up at this is the new market.
jsw. I'm not sure I agree. I think there is a not-insignificant segment of the market looking for a "mint" move-in ready apartment. I did visit the open house on this unit and it ticked that box. It didn't tick a lot of other boxes for us such as light or flow or storage space but we wouldn't have wanted (not needed) to redo any bathrooms, kitchens, knock down walls or replace windows / floors. i
I think the number of apartments checking this box is only around 10%.
I'm suggesting that this 10% "mint" sector of the market trades closer to new development than the remaining 90%.
Here's another example. This included a gut reno but this property traded at above ask for over $1mm more than prior sale in 2009.
I am not sure why the 2009 price is relevant. the market is between $1500 to $2000 psqf. Why would you pay attention to what someone paid for the unit?

An Occupy Anthem
Tom Morello, the most tireless Occupy celeb activist, has just released with friends what he calls a much-needed rock "anthem" to join the earnest folk tunes that normally dominate. "We Are the 99%" streaming today at Rolling Stone and more generally available tomorrow. Starts Rage-like then there's a brief, softer Morello passage, before a return to thrash. Listen now.

LionSteel TM1 MS Folding 3.54" Satin Sleipner Steel Blade, One Piece Micarta Handle

LNTM1MS: TM1 Micarta with Satin Blade
Following the previous solid SR-1 and TiSpine models, both frame lock folding knives, LionSteel decided to launch a solid knife with lockback. The task was a challenge, considering their decision to use carbon fiber or Micarta for the monolithic one-piece construction of the handle using four-centerline machining stations. The blade is available either satin finished or black. The clip can be fitted on either side of the handle, making this knife totally ambidextrous. The double spring lock back mechanism ensures greater flexibility in the mechanism and improved durability of the locking system.
Each TM1 is fitted with a glass breaker and a tungsten carbide point. To enhance the knife mechanism, it has been supplemented with the IKBS pivot system which envisages ball bearings to facilitate the blade sliding motion. It's much smoother and faster than other knives in this category, which is the beefy, tactical blade. Design by Molletta, the TM1 has a much more ergonomic shape than previous LionSteel models and the blade shape is ideal. For my money, the handle and overall size of the knife is perfection, right in-between the SR-1 and SR-2 models and is made with the same, unflinching quality.
- Blade Length: 3.54" (90 mm)
- Blade Thickness: .18" (4.5 mm)
- Blade Steel: Uddeholm Sleipner Steel, 60-61HRC
- Overall Length: 8.07" (205 mm)
- Handle Material: 1 Piece of Solid Micarta
- Locking Mechanism: Lockback
- Includes Removable Pocket Clip
- Weight: 4.48 oz. (127 g)
- Made in Maniago, Italy
The original locking mechanism. It can be found mid spine or at the bottom of the handle, and it provides tight lockup that will wear well.
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
Similar to G10, Micarta is a a compressed layered composite which instead of using fiberglass, uses fiber compounds of any type of create a strong, attractive material that is impervious to water.

Saimiri oerstedii Saimiri sciureus Saimiri ustus Saimiri boliviensis Saimiri vanzolinii
The squirrel monkeys are the New World monkeys of the genus Saimiri. They are the only genus in the subfamily Saimirinae. The name of the genus Saimiri is of Tupi origin (sai-mirim or gai-mbirin < sai 'monkey' and mirim 'small'), and was also used as an English name by early researchers.
Ateles belzebuth Ateles chamek Ateles hybridus Ateles marginatus Ateles fusciceps Ateles geoffroyi Ateles arachnoides Ateles paniscus
Spider monkeys of the genus Ateles are New World monkeys in the subfamily Atelinae, family Atelidae. Like other atelines, they are found in tropical forests of Central and South America, from southern Mexico to Brazil. The genus contains seven species, all of which are under threat; the black-headed spider monkey, wooly spider monkey, and brown spider monkey are critically endangered.
In journalism, a human interest story is a feature story that discusses a person or people in an emotional way. It presents people and their problems, concerns, or achievements in a way that brings about interest, sympathy or motivation in the reader or viewer.
Human interest stories may be "the story behind the story" about an event, organization, or otherwise faceless historical happening, such as about the life of an individual soldier during wartime, an interview with a survivor of a natural disaster, a random act of kindness or profile of someone known for a career achievement.
